I'm so lucky!


Oops, been quiet on my blog, but really been so busy. Busy making memories!

The Market Day that I was trying to promote my business at didn't go very well, unfortunately.  Most people were there to browse, and were walking around without any money, so I didn't sell any products.  I did hand out quite a lot of pricelists, samples and product brochures, so hopefully I get some phone calls soon.  *Mental note to self: Don't try and do marketing at this market day again!!

The low-carb eating plan is going well, mostly.  Although it really does take time - time to plan meals, time to prepare them.  Last week was difficult, because I was at product training for two days, and then away for a couple of days - but as much as I can, I am avoiding white carbs, concentrating on smaller portions, and trying to make better choices.  I just do love my choccies and vino so much tho...

Mia and I had a great visit with my folks in Pietersburg!  It felt like my college-days: lounging on the couch, reading, watching tv, eating mom's home-cooked meals... Bliss!  I shared a bed with Mia, and she's such a lil snuggle-bug! I didn't sleep very well, coz I was so aware of her - but I did savour the closeness - and both mornings she woke up before I did and woke me up by saying, "You're so lucky, Mommy!"  Yes, indeed I am, baby girl! Lucky and blessed.

On Friday my folks came back to Gauteng with us - my mom came with us and my dad came in his car.  What fun to have extra time to spend with them!  Had a special braai at our house with both my siblings on Friday evening, and on Saturday arvie Mia and I went for snacks at my sister's house, and me, Mia, my mom and my sis sat on a blanket on the grass and had such a special time together. ♥

Next up is our weekend at the sea!  Whoop whoop!  Can't wait to just to chill out with hubby and lil girl.  It's a long way to go for three nights, but my soul truly has a yearning for the sea, I can't wait for the assault on my senses: To see the ocean, smell it, feel it, hear it!

Roadtrip to P'burg - stopped for snacks along the way!

Mia loved the water fountain at the garden centre! She had granny walking through it too!

The girls ♥
